| From time to time, we hope to have medical experts available to answer specific questions from Twinstuff visitors. Until October, 2003, we are proud to have Dr. Barabara Luke answer general nutrition questions and pediatrician Dr. Michael Bornstein answer questions on children ages newborn-age 5.
Michael Eliot Bornstein graduated Cum Laude from Harvard in 1986 and received his medical degree from Boston University School of Medicine in 1990. He completed his pediatric residency at The University of California, Irvine in 1993. Shortly after beginning his residency program in California, he met his future wife, Aimee who was working in the Pediatric ICU. They were married in 1992. After residency, they decided to open a private practice in Richmond, Texas. With Aimee managing the office, Dr. Bornstein was able to focus completely on medicine and the care of his patients. 1998 was a big year for the Bornsteins. Their son Alec was born in February and their second office was opened in April. Their second son, Zack, was born in 2000. Now Pediatric Center is a family affair as Michael, Aimee, Alec and Zack go to the office together every day.
While caring for his patients in his private practice, Dr. Bornstein realized that he wanted to provide a resource for parents who were interested in understanding more about children's health. He created his parenting web site, ibabydoc.com, in December of 1999. His family lives in Sugar Land, Texas.
He will be answering questions on a bi-weekly basis on Twinstuff. Post your questions for Dr. Bornstein now on general pediatrician care and he will personally select and answer a few questions each week.
